Rely on whom you trust. 3/23/2020 Good afternoon, it has been an interesting week. Missionaries are quarantined but that is ok nothing will stop the work of the Lord. I just want to leave you all with a little comfort and that is God loves you and He has a plan. There is no need to worry. Who are we told to put our trust in? There is a force that is there to bring us peace and comfort. God does not forsake us. If you have wondered if there is a God, the answer is yes, I know this to be true. You can too, by kneeling and praying and asking God you will know. We may not know the plan, but God has one and he is ready to help us, but we need to be willing to take it. Accept his love and his plan and do the things He has asked us to do. I love you all and know that there is a plan and know that we will come out of this together and be much stronger as people and those who believe in Him. Keep going strong. 🤟🤟 Best 9 months of my life! 3/30/2020 Good m

2/17/2020 Donnie's Baptsim We had a great week this week Donnie got baptized! We also had 5 friends at church they are doing great. I really like all the people I get to work with. They have all been prepared and everything. The message I have is short, Love one another. I know that the best way to show your love is service. Service can be as simple as smiling at someone. God has commanded us to love one another, if we love one another we will feel the love that God has for them and for us, because we are showing Him that we want to take care of His flock. I want to invite you guys to serve someone that you might think is struggling that does not mean to ask them if they are struggling do it because you love them and they will pass it on.  I love you all I know that this week isn't anything super deep it is simple, that is because the Gospel is simple, we are commanded to love one another as He has loved us. I am keeping you in my prayers and I appreciate al

1/13/2020 Raking Leaves   One day Elder Harris and I were out visiting members and we had this impression to find someone who was raking leaves my first thought was that there was nobody out raking leaves. The next thing we know we hear someone raking leaves and we went and started talking to her. As we were talking to her we found out that her Husband passed away and had a lot of questions about what happened and why he left. We gave her a pamphlet to read, and then we visited her on Friday. When we went and visited her on Friday We talked about the plan of salvation, and she told us that it answered a lot of questions for her. We told her that families are Forever, and she really liked that. It brought her comfort that she would be able to live with him again. She said she would be baptized but she doesn't feel ready yet. Heavenly Father led us to the elect. Sometimes we feel as if God is not watching over us, but the truth is that God is aware of all of us. God does not l

11/18/2019 Japanese Food? This week has been crazy, the title is just showing my confusion I come to Oklahoma and I am still getting Culture in my meals. A member in our branch feeds us and she is from Japan, so we must use Chopsticks and the food is DELICIOUS. The main thing I learned this week though is BE PATIENT. I know that by being patient we will be blessed. In the scriptures it says that if we are patient and submit happily than we will be blessed with the Love of Christ. I know it is a short e-mail this week. I just want you guys to know I am doing great I am having fun and I know that this church is true. God loves you. 11/25/2019 Be A Light! Hello everyone, how are y'all doing? I know Light the World is coming up and I hope you all are planning on doing something for Christmas to light someone's life. Christmas is the perfect time to bake treats or sing carols, and spend time with family, the same goes for thanksgiving. Make up some funny Thanksgi

10/28/2019 Sell your soul to who? Well another week is gone, which is very sad. This past week was fun but also super hard. I heard this story about people selling their souls to the Devil, and I started thinking and turning the wheels in my head. I figured that in life Satan does want you to sell your soul to him, it makes a lot more sense about the Plan of Happiness now. God doesn't want us to sell our soul, he wants us to just submit to his will and he is letting us make mistakes. With Satan we can't make mistakes, if that was the case, life would be boring. I really think it is interesting because you must realize that Heavenly Father is our literal Father in Heaven. He wants us to succeed, He wants to see us graduate from life, and when he sees that we are dropping out of "school" he is very disappointed. Yes DISAPPOINTED. Don't sell your soul to the Devil it is way harder to get it back, because Satan inflates the price.  We can keep our soul with the L

Hello Everyone, I want to let you know that I am having a blast. I am enjoying every single moment that I am having out here. I want to share my thoughts about missionaries, I am still in Woodward as you all know and in Woodward there is only me and my companion for missionaries. I have been praying that there would be more missionaries around me. I HAVE BEEN BLIND. We are all missionaries you do not need to have a badge to be a missionary. When we are baptized, we are still invited to follow Christ's example, even before we are baptized, we are invited to follow his example. Jesus Christ the best missionary there was did not have a badge. Member Missionaries DO A LOT. We are the ALL the Lord's servants, and there are times where the full-time missionaries cannot be there but the help that you Member missionaries bring is so helpful to the gathering of Israel. My companion and I have recently set two more baptisms for kids ages 10 and 11. They are both so excited to be baptiz
